Here the young seer's grief boils over into a design of universal destruction. It is telling how terrible the wrath of a great soul can be: learning of his father's death, Parashara is ready to destroy the whole world — unrestrained power turns into ruin for all. Here it is shown how dangerous the anger of the righteous is when unchecked: the greater the strength, the more fearsome its fury. It is also telling that Vasishtha 'holds back' his grandson: the wisdom of an elder is needed to cool the ardor of the grieving. Thus the scripture shows the need for a teacher who curbs anger; and Vasishtha begins his tale in order to instruct the youth.
